Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsForATSTNotStatedMitigationCommentsMs. Leslie AnnBruceMs. Bruce is from Hana: “[t]his proposed use of Haleakalā summit for anothertelescope is undesirable, culturally offensive and ethically questionable. It’sundesirable because it is a further covering of our mountain's open space andspecial viewscapes. It destroys our sense of place. It is culturally offensivebecause it further intrudes on our sacred Hawaiian aina. Haleakalā, as we allknow, has mythological significance of the highest value. It is a storied place forthe island's namesake, Māui, who has Pan Pacific importance to manyPolynesian cultures in addition to Hawaiian culture. People I know on the island,including myself, feel hurt, offended an invaded by outsiders' intrusions on ourwahipana, our sacred places, that lose their pristine character and culturalsignificance by being used for large, obtrusive structures that obliterate theemptiness we value so highly on our mountaintop. “XNoneNoneMs. MaryEvansonMs. Evanson, on behalf of the Friends of Haleakalā National Park, read herpublic comment from a letter previously composed; she feels protective ofHaleakalā, “this project is so huge it will change Haleakalā forever. Please findanother site.” Again Ms. Evanson states that she is “deeply troubled” by theDEIS as it is full of errors. She is concerned that these errors will get circulatedand perpetuated.XNoneNoneMs. MeleStokesberryMs. Stokesberry submitted her testimony via e-mail: “…it must not be built atthis location. Its tremendous size cannot be placed on the summit of Haleakalāwithout irreversible harm of a very serious nature to the endangered petrelswhose burrows are all surround the proposed sites.” “ATST would also causeruinous harm to the view planes, serenity and the sacredness of the mountain andit’s yet not fully characterized harm to the entire summit environment due to thehuge excavation and disturbance it will invade.”XNoneNoneMs. VernaKai‘ulaniNahuluMs. Nahulu is Native Hawaiian and from Keokea, “…I would like to say that myHawaiian ancestors felt it was so important to know about the sun, to know aboutthe stars and to know the skies, because when we traveled throughout the Pacific,through Easter Island, to Tahiti, to far places, okay, to far places, that it wasnecessary to know about the sun.” Also states that she is a channeler of Pele andexplains that, “…very, very early on, I asked her [Pele] what’s your take on theATST. And she says I am strongly in favor of it. She said do everything you canto have them be installed at the summit because I [Pele] feel that Haleakalā is foreducation.” For those people who think Pele’s home is Haleakalā , Ms. Nahulusays, “…Pele’s home is in Halemaumau [on the Island of Hawaii].” Ms. NahuluNone X NoneAPPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00873
Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HALEA 2 Scoping Meetings and Section 106 TestimonyAgency/IndividualSummary of View and Cultural ConcernsNoActionMitigationSuggestionsForATSTNotStatedMitigationCommentsmakes a statement in response to comments about the telescopes and ScienceCity being in one’s direct view, “I've been to Haleakalā. In order to see ScienceCity, I have to go up further to the 10,000-foot level to see Science City. It is inthe back. I see only the summit below me, and I've been up there many times. SoI think it is a mistake saying that it is in our faces because it certainly is not. Ihave to go up to Science City to see those things, and I do.”APPENDIX F (2): Supplemental Cultural Impact Assessment For the Proposed AdvancedTechnology Solar Telescope (ATST) at Haleakalā High Altitude ObservatoriesTMK (2) 2-2-07:00874
